This is a pencil sketch on a piece of aged paper that has yellowed over time. The sketch depicts a person standing and facing away from the viewpoint, towards what appears to be a stone bridge or a parapet overlooking a body of water. The person seems to be wearing a long coat and a hat, suggesting a style that might belong to an earlier period. To the right side of the sketch, there is a detailed drawing of a street lamp. In the background, some indistinct shapes suggest a landscape or cityscape, possibly including trees or buildings, but these elements are not detailed. At the top left corner of the paper, there is handwritten text, although the writing style indicates it may not be English and I cannot accurately transcribe it. The bottom right corner of the paper contains a date written as "15.IX.44", which suggests that the sketch was made on September 15, 1944. The sketch is rough and has an impressionistic feel, with light and expressive pencil strokes. It captures more the mood and atmosphere of the scene rather than the precise details. The paper itself shows some folds and creases, indicating it might have been stored or handled extensively.
